We went to a zoo called ZooParc de Beauval. The zoo has 4600 animals and 360 animals are born each year. The zoo is the biggest zoo in France!
We saw some animals that we have seen before and some that we have never seen before like Flamingos, Pandas, Okapi and Sloths.

| The Okapi which is a relative of the Giraffe but looks a bit like a zebra |
 |
| Panada which was very lazy and they are the only giant Pandas in France |
 |
| Kian and I as Pandas |
Some interesting fact about Flamingos are:
- they can run on the water
- they have a s-shaped neck
- they have webbed feet
- they fly in large flocks, sometimes with as many as hundreds of thousands of them
- they eat shrimp, snails and algae
- they build nests that look like mounds of mud
- they sleep standing up on one foot with their head on their back
 |
| The Flamingos. Some are bright pink, almost orange; and others are pale pink depending on where they come from |
We also went to a seal and bird show. The birds flew all over the place. There was three keepers that held up food for the birds and they went from one keeper to another. Once they got to the keeper they could eat the food. The birds included Eagles, Falcons, Condors and Buzzards. After the bird show, it was the seals turn. The seals did all sorts of tricks; they were very cute and funny.

We saw lots of baby animals including some baby white tigers which were very cute.

We also saw an Owl that looked like Harry Potters owl, Hedwig.

We had a great day at the zoo. At the end of the day Kian and I got to buy a toy. I bought a Flamingo and Kian bought a Okapis.

Hi Kayla
I feel like cuddling those panadas and the baby tigers.
On Friday, we had a day off school and I went to the Melbourne Aquarium and I brought a baby seal from the gift shop. My favourite animal/fish at the aquarium was the penguins.

Hi Siena!
The baby tigers were very cute. The second time we
walked past them, they had started to play together.
The dad had to be kept in a separate cage to the mum
and the babies.
Who did you go to the aquarium with? Maybe we can go
together when I come home.
Miss you,
Kayla
Hi beautiful Kayla and a big hello to Kian too, well it certainly
Sounds like you saw heaps of animals. I think I liked the two
Pretend pandas best of all, they look so sweet. The baby tigers
Look very cute too but not as cute as you two. Grandmas going
to start marking off the days now until I see you in France. You will
Be able to show me everything. Don't think I really want to try the
snails, I'm not as brave as you. Love from grandma xx
Hi Grandma!
i saw the whole zoo so i think i did see lots of animals!!
My favourite animal was the flamingoes - I have never seen
flamingoes before. Have you?
I can't wait to see you here and I might not be able to show
you everything as I might have forgotten some of them, but I will try!
Maybe we can try frogs legs together, seeing as you don't want snails!
Lots of love
Kayla (and Kian!)
